774 More information www.igus.eu/YE YE | Introduction | Advantages Combine the best properties of steel and plastic - YE hybrid e-chain ® Maximum strength: steel inner plates absorb the force of the fixed plastic outer link stop-dogs 50% longer unsupported length with more compact dimensions than a comparable plastic e-chain ® Fast filling: plastic crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius Tough: steel mounting brackets with attachment options from any side Smooth running: very smooth operation due to plastic pin connections Fast assembly: plastic outer links with flange for easy assembly of e-chain ® links 50% less weight: than a pure steel chain of comparable size, thanks to plastic outer links 50%stronger than pure plastic energy chains* and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains*. No rivets, no screws. Energy chain links openable quickly, for easy cable replacement. Steel or plastic does not have to be an either-or decision. In order to reach the highest possible unsupported length with the lowest possible weight, so-called hybrid e-chains ® are ideal, combining the best properties of steel and plastic. ● High tensile strength ● No screws, rivets or boltswhich can become loose under vibration ● Easy installation of plastic outer links with flange for easy e-chain ® link assembly ● Available as ready-to-install readychain ® system with cables, hoses and hydraulic components ● Smooth operation due to plastic pin connection ● Wide range of interior separation elements ● 30% less energy consumption in production compared to steel chain *Compared to plastic or steel energy chains of comparable sizes Typical industries and applications ● Cherry pickers ● Construction equipment ● Breakdown vehicles ● Lifting platforms ● Telescopic loaders ● Vertical lifts ● Articulated telescopic platforms ● Horizontal drilling rigs ● Articulated arm systems ● Drilling and diaphragm wall rigs ● Work platforms
